Watch international* ram be banned like international* EVs
*Chinese
Ram prices would still fall since other countries would not ban it and would put less stress on the current supply that already exists.
Considering Micron is the only US manufacturer, and they no longer produce consumer ram, this would just mean you literally could not buy any electronics that relied on ram. I doubt that would happen. Chinese ram, maybe
They shut down their own consumer RAM brand, but did they shut down manufacturing of the chips themselves? I was under the impression they still sell to other brands
Most of the consumer dimms are made in Taiwan and Korea. Unless you're in either of those countries an "international ban" would be a huge problem.

It's better to use their weak labour standards to exploit their workers for low wages, rather than try to compete with those conditions directly.
